1.8 Composition of Intuitionistic Fuzzy Relation
Using Fuzzy t -Norm and t -Conorm
Composition of IFR can also be carried out using t -norms and t -conorms
[2- 4]. T -norms and t -conorms are a kind of binary operation used to rep-
resent the intersection and union in fuzzy set theory, respectively. In this
section, fuzzy t -norm and t -conorm are discussed briefly, and these are dis-
cussed in detail in Chapter 3.
1.8.1 t -Norm
A t -norm T : [0, 1] → [0, 1] is a kind of binary operation used in the framework
of fuzzy logic and probabilistic metric spaces. It represents the intersection
in fuzzy set theory or an 'ANDing' operator.
The four basic t -norms are
1. The minimum: T ( x , y ) = min( x , y )
2. The product: T ( x , y ) = x · y
3. The Lukasiewicz t -norm: T L ( x , y ) = max( x + y − 1, 0)
4. The Nilpotent minimum t -norm:
Txy
(
,
)
=
min
(
x y
,
)
if
x
+ >
y
1
=
0
otherwise
1.8.2 t -Conorm
A t -conorm T : [0, 1] → [0, 1] is a kind of binary operation used in the frame-
work of fuzzy logic and probabilistic metric spaces. It represents union in
fuzzy set theory or an 'ORing' operator. The four basic t -conorms are
1. The maximum: S ( x , y ) = max( x , y )
2. The product: S ( x , y ) = x + y x · y
3. The Lukasiewicz t -conorm: T L ( x , y ) = min( x + y , 1)
4. Nilpotent minimum t -conorm:
Sxy
(

)
=
max
(

)
if
x

otherwise
For IFRs, t -norms and t -conorms will be designated with letters α, β, ρ and δ
in this chapter.
